Congrats @barryschwabsky & @tbradway LANDSCAPE PAINTING NOW reviewed @hyperallergic “Art critic Barry Schwabsky’s new book, “Landscape Painting Now: From Pop Abstraction to New Romanticism” (DAP), delivers a global and multi-generational perspective on what may be the most malleable of painting genres. Along with editor Todd Bradway and historians Robert R. Shane, Louise Sorensen, and Susan A. Van Scoy, Schwabsky sets out to update readers on what artists have been doing with the pliable clay of landscape painting since 1950. With a specific focus on paintings completed since 2000, a view unfolds of a genre that earned only sporadic attention from critics while its practitioners were busy expanding, redefining, and generally complicating the form… Readers will be left with the question: can landscape painting retain its distinction as a genre, or is it doomed to drift toward Jackson Pollock’s “I am nature” paean to solipsism? For those invested in such inquiry, I suggest post-it markers placed at the pages where they feel the author’s inclusiveness led him adrift. For that participatory exercise alone, above and beyond the volume’s intelligence and visual sumptuousness, I believe ‘Landscape Painting Now’ could play a significant role in our conversations about contemporary painting and its meaning.” — Peter Malone #landscapepainting #landscapepaintingnow @landscape_painting_now #pleinairpainting #pleinair #figurativepainting #nature #contemporarylandscapepainting #postpoplandscapes https://www.instagram.com/p/BvRkN-bHePu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vb377eb9c2vi

Genre-redefining survey 'Landscape Painting Now' releases this month. Pre-order now! "Untitled" (2016) by Etel Adnan is reproduced from “Landscape Painting Now: From Pop Abstraction to New Romanticism,” forthcoming from D.A.P. Edited by Todd Bradway with text by Barry Schwabsky, alongside contributions from Susan A. Van Scoy, Robert R. Shane and Louise Sørensen, this is THE book on contemporary landscape painting, featuring work by more than 80 artists, from nonagenarians like Adnan to established figures such as David Hockney, Mamma Andersson and Peter Doig, to rising stars like Jordan Nassar and Shara Hughes. "For Adnan," Schwabsky writes, "her mountain may be a specific empirical place that she has contemplated over much of her life, but for viewers of the painting it is a kind of archetype of MOUNTAIN, an idea sensuously embodied—or as the artist's partner Simone Fattal once put it, 'the ever-revealing mystery, the ongoing manifestation.'"

Celebrate Earth Day with the hyperreal feel of Makiko Kudo’s “Burning Red” from 'Landscape Painting Now,' our best-selling 2019 survey edited by @tbradway and the genesis for 'Unnatural Nature: Post-Pop Landscapes', the show Bradway has curated for @acquavellagalleries in Palm Springs and NYC right now. ⁠ ⁠ “The wide-eyed girls who populate Makiko Kudo’s landscapes are the witnesses more than protagonists of stories that might take place within them,” Barry Schwabsky writes; “we see the verdant scene as though from their point of view: a double consciousness of a familiar place where, she says, ‘the scenery is shining in my eyes… burned into my brain.’ It is a hyperreality enjoined by feeling rather than by minute attention to details; what ties it to Pop is not the banality of the everyday but quite the opposite, a childlike wonder at even the most ordinary things (which, for instance, Warhol projected onto the Campbell’s soup his mother gave him for lunch every day as a kid).”⁠ ⁠ @kudo_makiko @mr_tranquil_tranquil_waters #makikokudo #landscsapepaintingnow #unnaturalnature #earthday #burningred #postpoplandscape #landscapepainting #contemporarylandscape #contemporaryart #contemporarypainting #landscape #acquavellagalleries #nature #art #painting @blue_medium #toddbradway https://www.instagram.com/p/CcqDXIIMX6l/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
